This new thread will give members a chance to voice what gear they are listening to at present or what music is filling their day. Feel free to jump on and rattle-off what gear you have hooked up to spin your fav. vinyl of CDs. Or have you got your media centre hooked into you vintage Quad tube amps today with Bach or the Rolling Stones steaming through your vintage JBL speakers.

Give us an idea what you listen to on a day-to-day basis when you hit the forum. Let others know what is you fav. gear and in what combo. I quite often listen to my 6T9 tube amp with my OPAMP based Prada627 preamping the modded Oppo or the refurbished Sanyo TP 1010 TT.

So get onboard. Let us know what rocks your musical boat on a daily basis. If you, like me, have a major and secondary system, tell us what one you are on, what gear comprises it and what’s playing. If you make some changes to your system and fire-it-up, tell us how it sounds and what music you are using to test it.

Earlier today I was on my second system listening to Jimi Hendrix through a newly purchased Garrott K2 cartridge on a refurbished Sanyo TT. The amp was my 6T9 tube amp and Prada627 preamp. Speakers -Kef iQ30.

Hendrix how he use to sound. No CDs around when he was chewing the strings off his guitar!!!

I have these S312 models. They are a basic 3-way. They are not vintage, but from about 10-12 years ago. Not to be confused with some of the real crap JBL put out. The bookshelf version of this same series got rave reviews. I love them with the 222C amp mentioned. With a Scott 299, my Signet bookshelfs suit my tastes better. I currently have a set-up where I can switch between any of three vintage tube amps, two turntables, the CD player, and three pairs of speakers. In addition to the JBLs and Signets, which were made by Audio-Technica, I have a pair of Klipsch Heresys.

If I'm doing some really serious listening, it's CDs with the JBLs and Scott 222C. Or I listen to my vinyl with the Signets, Sony PS-X6(Signet TK7LCa cartridge), and the Scott 299. The two amps have a much different sonic signature, intentionally, having been restored using different types of capacitors, and a couple of other tricks. That's one reason I've fallen off the DIY scratch build wagon recently. These vintage amps are so much fun and sound so good, I can't get away from them. I have another 12 Scott pieces, and several others that will keep me busy in my soon-to-come retirement.

Hi Everyone, Earlier today I was listening to the original PoddWatt (it is in my office and runs around 8 hours a day), XM (on the singer songwriter channel) feeding a pair of Klipsch KG4s (modded - just can't keep my hands off OEM stuff). At the time, Asia - heat of the moment was playing.

Tonight at home, Jakob Dylan and Neil Young on my main system - Martin Logan Vistas, the two original OddBlocks, the number 2 ForeWatt preamp (diy project report is in the offing when I can get to it), my modded Marantz CD5001. The subs (15 inchers) are temporarily off line.

My setup for the last little while has been:Oppo BDP-83 Player - for CD, Video and I also feed it with a DLNA server. This is a great universal player for the price - good enough for Lexicon to slap it in a chassis and mark it up by $3000. http://www.audioholics.com/reviews/tran ... oppo-clone

That feeds a Behringer SRC2496 which I use to upsample 16 bit / 44.1 kHz signals to 24 bit / 88.2 kHz.
